   Why was Cyprus divided?

   • Cyprus’ division marked a failure to graduate a European country from British rule to independence. After World War II, a Greek-Cypriot lieutenant colonel, Yiorgos Grivas, set up a guerrilla organisation, EOKA, which attacked British troops as part of its goal to merge Cyprus with Greece. Its battle cry was Enosis, or union.

   How did Greek intelligence interpret the invasion of Cyprus?

   • But it seems that Greek intelligence interpreted all this, along with radar sightings of an approaching fleet on the morning of the invasion itself, as a mere exercise. At dawn on July 20, 1974, Turkish fighter jets began to strafe Greek infantry billets, light artillery batteries, and air force early warning stations on Cyprus’ northern shore.

   What was the battle cry of the Greek-Cypriot Revolution?

   • Its battle cry was Enosis, or union. In 1955, British governor, John Harding, offered the Greek-Cypriot community leader, Archbishop Makarios, self-determination after seven years. Makarios turned it down and instead condoned the EOKA campaign – at which point Britain began to stoke Turkish interest in Cyprus.
